What is the best way to get a ticketing and data distribution systems 
management role within primarily australian, canadian or american 
railways but possibly elsewhere worldwide? 
 
I am 33 yrs old and work within the UK rail industry. I am responsible
for budget and contract management of the suppliers' service delivery 
of a £15.3m pa ticketing and distribution systems portfolio supplied 
to UK rail companines. 
 
Services include fares, timetable information and central reservations
systems, integrated rail journey information service (used by UK web 
services) and hardware maintenance support of 8000 ticket issuing 
machines across 2000 locations. 
 
I have been involved in the operational specification of replacement
systems, have led negotiations on all of the current contracts and
have a detailed understanding of UK distribution, ticketing and rail
industry settlement systems.

The best way to find the type of position that you are seeking is
simply to visit the above mentioned sites and apply to all those that
you qualify for and would want to take. Unfortunately there is little
leeway when it comes to filtering results for the exact type of job
you want but in many cases you can choose a category to narrow it down
a bit.

If you need a clarification on any of this information, i would be
happy to provide one.

Hope this helps!
